In Destiny 2’s case, the absence of matchmaking for raids and their hardest strikes makes Destiny 2 even harder to play without friends. This topic isn’t “my opinion is right”, it’s a bigger piece than that. I played through Destiny 2, disliked it, and moved on, but I keep hearing people talk about it, and it seems to be popular especially with a rather large group of people, which is great and of course if you like Destiny as a solo player, that’s perfectly fine as well. It’s something I keep finding examples of happening even with other professional reviewers.ĭestiny 2 is a big one. That doesn’t mean that people who hated Wolfenstein didn’t play it with close friends, but the fact that their partner was their friend, must have had some important effect.Īnd if this was the only game where this happened, I wouldn’t talk about it, but it’s not. In Wolfenstein: Youngblood’s case, the answer seemed to be, people who enjoyed the game, played it in co-op 100 percent of the time, with very close friends. Well, some people like it, and of course people are entitled to their own opinion but I dug into why, and the few people I discussed it with gave me a chance to understand their point of view. In general, people seem to dislike Wolfenstein Youngblood, and I agree. The thing is there’s a lot wrong with Wolfenstein Youngblood, the combat isn’t that good, the weapons have special damage types that will matter too much, the enemies are boring, it’s a looter shooter without any interesting loot, I mean why is there an experience levels in a freaking normal shooter. Wolfenstein Youngblood, AKA Why am I playing this again? If Deep Rock Galactic is enjoyable even in solo, let’s talk about the opposite situation. The problem is when it comes to reviewing or recommending games how are you supposed to deal with that? That’s not a controversial statement, and I think it’s one that quite a few companies understand and promote. Some games, probably every game is better with friends. However, it has the common symptom that it’s better with friends, and if you saw the thumbnail or title of this video, you know that’s what I want to talk about this week. Side note over.ĭeep Rock Galactic is intended as a multiplayer game, though you can easily play single player with a friendly AI which is important. There was a time I thought I’d never see anything like this again, so that’s awesome. Quick side note, I want to point out that infinite digging reminds me quite a bit of Red Faction and the Geomod technology, a slight plug for a former employer. The game was offering the same trinkets to collect, I was finding groups within seconds of looking for them, the community is some of the friendliest I’ve ever seen, but the experience changed. It was fun, and I also enjoyed playing with some random players which worked quite well.īut Deep Rock Galactic is really about grinding, you play similar missions over and over, and while it has amazing technology to allow infinite digging in any direction and has very solid mechanics, I realized I wasn’t having as good a time without my friends. I like to play a game fully and move on, or at least see more of the game so I ultimately can review it, and Deep Rock Galactic dangles a lot of really interesting mechanics in front of the player, so I played some of the game alone. It should be, but the fact is Deep Rock Galactic is an example of a problem I have with the review process, and I’ll give Deep Rock Galactic a short review at the end, don’t freak out, I like Deep Rock Galactic a lot.īut the thing is, I got impatient with my friends. So Deep Rock Galactic is a fun game, we’re having a blast, we’ve enjoyed ourselves multiple times, that should be an easy game to review, right?
